Gus gets a New Toy

Ok, the other day I bought Gus some new toys, I always like the end of a holiday because all the toys that we get in for the holiday are almost all still there and they go on sale. The toy in the video was actually a new kind of toy and as soon as we got it in I was thinking I should get it just to see how gus would react to it. Since I thought it would be funny I went ahead and taped it. So please enjoy this video I will say that Gus really didn't know what to do with the toy, he was so happy. Gus also got two other toys but i have not given them to him yet.

Halloween Fun

Halloween was fun this year I got to dress up as a pirate and go to work, while I was there I got the sun conure, that has been in the store so long we have started to call him Toby. Then I came home and dressed Gus up in a shark costume it was pretty funny. Daniel and I also had carved some pumpkins, it was a lot of fun and Daniel was having a lot of fun with it because he had never carved a pumpkin for the heck of it before.

Daniel and Mo

A few days ago Daniel had our leopard gecko Mo out and it was just to cute to pass up takeing some pictures of how he was looking at her. Its funny becuase I remember the first time he walked into my apartment and saw the tank Mo was in he could not believe that I had this thing in my house. It didn't take long for him to warm up to her though. As soon as I got her out and let him hold her he was hooked. Who can blame him Mo is a pretty cute gecko and she has a great personality.

Gus

The other day one of my frogs was walking along the most viewable part of glass in their tank, because of this Gus finally realized that there is actually something in the tanks that I have. A few days latter Gus even noticed my leopard gecko, both events were very entertaining.

Gillette

So back in March 2009 Daniel and I took a trip up to Wyoming to visit with Sis and her family and I thought I should share some of the pictures. Just click to see it larger.

Daniel's Birthday

Daniel had his birthday on the 26th and I would like to thank everyone who sent him cards and gifts. We ended up staying home and having some of his friends over. I made some chili which I was very proud of because it turned out good and everyone liked it, I had never made chili before. I also made a cake called Tres Leches, which means three milks, it is a regular yellow cake that is soaked in a mixture of heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk, then it is frosted with some whipped cream and I served ours with some strawberries. It turned out great! Daniel ended up getting some new shoes, shorts, shirt, hat and the four Fast and Furious movies.

Working for the Summer

Over the summer I was working at the Sedgwick County Zoo and while I did not actually work with these animals I just thought these pictures were really good. I worked in the education department where I took three groups of ten 13 year olds around the zoo and had them work with some of the keepers mostly cleaning and doing daily routine. That was done in August. I was also working at Petco, not much different then what I normally do, but now I am mostly taking care of the reptiles. Daniel has been roofing like usual, the weather has been very nice this summer and he has been able to work a lot. Daniel has also been playing soccer, but recently hurt his knee so will be taking a break form that.
